Mixing is a complex process involving many variables and their configuration. A one-size-fits-all approach does not get you the desired results. The individual instrument calibrations should be accurate to the fraction, especially for an analog mixer. It all starts with an ear for music. For the purpose of clarity, we have provided certain guidelines that you can use on an analog mixer for combining, routing, and changing the level, timbre and dynamics of audio signals. An analog mixer serves as a great tool for learning the fundamentals of mixing in an easily understandable way. We suggest you use these configurations with a standard pop song or ballad as a starting point and work your way up.
